Ramdas Bandu Athawale / 'Hindu voters should boycott Uddhav and Rahul', why did Ramdas Athawale say this?

Union Minister Ramdas Athawale targeted Rahul Gandhi and Uddhav Thackeray for not attending Maha Kumbh. He said that this has insulted Hindutva and Hindu voters should boycott them. Athawale alleged that these leaders want Hindu votes, but do not respect Hindu traditions.

Ramdas Bandu Athawale: Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment and head of BJP's ally Republican Party Ramdas Athawale on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray. He alleged that these two leaders have insulted Hindutva by not participating in the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. Athawale even said that Hindu voters should boycott these leaders.

Not participating in Maha Kumbh is an insult to Hindutva

Ramdas Athawale said, "Thackeray talks about Hindutva, but he did not participate in Maha Kumbh. The Gandhi family also refrained from participating in it. This is an insult to Hindus. Being a Hindu and not going to Maha Kumbh is a big contradiction. In such a situation, Hindu voters should boycott these leaders." Want Hindu votes, but keep distance from Maha Kumbh

Athawale further said in his statement, "Rahul Gandhi and Uddhav Thackeray always want Hindu votes, but when it comes to attending the biggest event of Hindu culture and tradition, they keep distance from it. They should understand the sentiments of the people and participate in such religious events. It is their responsibility to show respect to the Hindu community."

Hindu voters taught a lesson in Maharashtra elections

Ramdas Athawale also said that Hindu voters had taught a lesson to these leaders in the Maharashtra Assembly elections held in November last year. He said, "Hindu voters are wise and they will not accept those leaders who ignore their traditions and religious events. The public will also answer them in the coming elections."

Political response and future prospects

This statement of Ramdas Athawale is considered important in view of the upcoming elections. The BJP and its allies are trying to strengthen the Hindu vote bank and corner the opposition parties on the issue of Hindutva. It will be interesting to see how Rahul Gandhi and Uddhav Thackeray react to this and what impact it has on the upcoming elections.
